.308 plinking load part 5 - Sierra 110g - changing seating depth

I tried two different powders with Sierra 110gr and the better one was Lovex DO73.6. From previous tests it looked like about 50.0gr would be stable and accurate. I decided to try different COALs and see what happens.

Another video of my reloading series. This one is showing "shoulder bump" or "partial sizing". It is something between neck sizing (where you only size a neck of the case) and full-length sizing (sizing the whole case back to its original size). This type of sizing is one I use most of the time, especially for the Blaser where the shoulder of the c…

.308 plinking load part 4 - Sierra 125gr and Vectan SP7

I am looking for a cheap plinking .308 load. One of the cheapest bullets I could find (unlike FMJs they could also be hunting varmint round) was Sierra 125gr SP #2120. I am going to try various inexpensive powders with it. This time Vectan SP7.
I am also using CCI200 primers and RWS brass.

DIY reloading tray - Tacka na łuski

I have several reloading trays but since I usually do 100 in one go, I needed a larger tray to hold at least 100 cases. I decided to make my own. A piece of wood, drill and some sand paper is all is needed.
This is my first attempt and I am shit at DIY so yours will definitely look better 🙂
